July 2011 Bandsters!
Finally got my gym membership and have started "working out"...have been able to do 15 min on the treadmill and 15 min on the bicycle plus some exercise machines for the arms and legs..to a whooping 45 min! I think I need to do more cardio though . Are any of you hitting the gym and if so what are you all doing? I'm at a total loss.

I noticed a little more restriction but not much. I think I need more fill. I've gotten strict with my intake and am losing 1lb every day but I feel I'm still hungry. I'm on an 800 calorie intake and use the lapbandjouney.com to track my food intake and activity. I am not doing well on activity though its been way too hot to walk outside where I'm at..110 degrees yesterday! How are you doing??

Hello Ladies! Its been quite sometime since I've been here. I've been reading the posts and am happy to see that everyone is chugging along. Shauna- don't worry it will all come together. I've actually have been having a bad time too. I recently lost my job and am actively, passionately, and desperately looking for a new one! My old self would have resorted to eating my blues away but now with the band I can't do that but I also haven't lost much weight. ugh!! I get my first fill on the 24th so I can't wait to start losing again. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Ugh! I broke a cardinal rule today and it was painful! I totally had a brain fart. I was eating my baked sweet potato when I took a gulpof water and oh boy did that hurt!! Felt like I couldnt breathe, got all clammy but I got up and walked around which I think helped me. Painful lesson learned.

I agree it depends on where you work and what you need to do. I drove today for the 1st time and felt okay. I'm still feeling discomfort but today was the first day I didn't nap. Hopefully, I get my energy back soon.

Amy don't feel bad I also tried peanut butter..bad mistake. I felt very uncomfortable afterwards and felt like I had eaten a whole cow. Now I know why I felt that way. NO MORE PEANUT BUTTER!!!

I'm feeling itchy too. Good news!! I started mushies today!! I had to eat very slow and waited before taking another bite but so far so good. My tummy feels good and satisfied after eating some oatmeal 1/2 cup was all it took. Still have some gas issues but yep gas x not working too well.

Don't sweat it you're right where you need to be. Everyone's body is different and everyone has different nutrioniost/surgeons. We can only do what is right for OUR body. So with that being sad I'm so happy to have this group in my life too!!! Only you all know what it is like from eating whatever we want when we want to totally just surviving on water and jello! lol I love it!!!

I'm feeling tons better today. Still taking the gas x tablets but very minimal pain meds. I'm walking around more and feel like cleaning. But I'm going to lay off the cleaning part, lol and take advantage of the help I'm receiving right now. Oatmeal sounds wonderful Stan! Tomorrow is day 6 so I can start oatmeal..we'll see how that goes. I'm glad to see the July 1st bandsters posting again. Has anyone heard from Kevin? Wasn't he suppose to have his surgery on the 1st too?

I'm getting the growling thing than I get the lump in my throat. After speaking to my friend she told me that I'm probably hungry. I drank some Soup and felt better afterwards.
